As someone who has worked on a couple of applications for warehouses, I know this happens. Things get misplaced and found later. They get written off when a stocktake doesn't find them. And they have to be handled when they turn up later.

Kobo tests a few and they pass [Pure speculation]

Didn't you accuse me of suggesting that Kobo of "unethical practices"? Selling devices like this without some testing would definitely be unethical.
And to be clear, I do not think Kobo is unethical.

degradation, a selection possibly (and probably) greater than normal because of time elapsed and storage conditions [Not only have you just said that Kobo sell the ones that didn't pass, again, pure speculation.]

Earlier, you tried to correct me about the battery status. Because, of that, I made the assumption that you knew something about Li-Ion batteries and how they degrade with time. It is a simple fact: as soon a Li-Ion battery is manufactured, it starts aging and losing capacity. How much it loses depends on a lot of things including usage, temperature and how it is stored. The batteries in these devices
will be degraded. The question is by how much. That was the point of the warning.
